A Mexican political advisor has been killed by a lynch mob after child kidnapping accusations were spread on messaging groups, authorities say.

Daniel Picazo, 31, was attacked and beaten by a crowd of around 200 people in the central state of Puebla.

He had been visiting the town of Papatlazolco when he was cornered by the mob, before being dragged into a local field and set on fire.
